We’re gonna find out one way or another. They already released genetically modified mosquito into the normal mosquito population several years ago. If everything goes to plan, those specific species of mosquitoes that also happen to bite humans, should completely die out in the next 100-200 generations.
I have no idea how short a mosquito generation is, but I suspect that means 50-200 years.
Let’s say about a 50 day lifespan, that’s roughly seven generations in a year, so maybe about 14 years? If the bitey mosquitoes aren’t gone, at least the worst of the world leaders should hopefully be dead by then.

Entomologists will always be happy to write about it.
